CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI Highlights Session's Brewery's Double Berry Soft
In an Instagram post on August 8, the Funabashi beer pub said it had no new tap openings that day and instead recommended Session's Brewery's Double Berry Soft, plus a pair of summer-friendly food items.
Hop BroThis one caught my eye today: CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI in Funabashi posted that even without a new tap on August 8, they still had a very clear “drink this now” recommendation. That kind of confidence says a lot.
MugiWhat, no fresh keg and it’s still exciting? One featured pick somehow makes me even more curious!
Hop BroThe beer they highlighted was Double Berry Soft from Session's Brewery. It sounds like a dessert-leaning beer, layering sweet-tart berry notes with a soft-serve-like creaminess, perfect for the last glass of the night.
MugiWhoa, a dessert-style beer? What is that supposed to be? Does it show up acting like a parfait?
Hop BroNot that heavy, thankfully. It’s more like bright berry tang with a smooth round edge. When they say creamy mouthfeel, they mean it spreads softly and gently when you drink it.
MugiOkay, I get it! So it’s not “chug chug,” it’s more “ahhh.” Calling it an after-dinner pour suddenly makes it sound very sophisticated!
Hop BroAnd the food pairing is doing real work too. Chicken Skin Peking Duck keeps that Peking-duck vibe, but the fat is rendered out well, so it lands much lighter than the name suggests.
MugiPeking duck... made with chicken skin!? That is way too much information for one menu item, my brain is buffering!
Hop BroThe other recommendation is cold capellini, tossed with a summer-vegetable ratatouille. Thin pasta, lots of vegetables, and exactly the kind of plate that makes sense on a hot day.
MugiAt that point it’s basically a perfect summer combo! Beer, cold pasta, and a sweet-tart finish with Double Berry Soft... I kind of want to head to Funabashi right now.
CRAFT PORT FUNABASHI, a beer pub in Honcho, Funabashi, shared its latest recommendations on Instagram on August 8. The post noted that there were no new tap openings that day, and instead pointed to a beer and food pairings worth trying.
The featured beer was Double Berry Soft from Session's Brewery. According to the post, it combines berry-like tart sweetness with a soft-serve-style creaminess, making it feel like a dessert beer. It was also described as a good final drink of the night.
For food, the shop recommended Chicken-skin de Peking Duck and cold pasta with summer vegetables ratatouille. The pasta uses capellini and plenty of summer vegetables, making it a cooling option for hot weather. The chicken-skin dish is presented as a lighter, less fatty take on Peking duck-style flavors. It is a practical stop for anyone who wants to enjoy craft beer with a meal rather than drink alone.
